FAQs

The Wedding Website of Katie Hartung and Christopher Szematowicz
If you have any other questions that are not answered here, please reach out to Katie 716-289-6562 Chris is terrible at responding, forgetful, and never has his phone on him. This is why Katie is his better half.
Question

What to Expect?

Answer

WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU! Katie and Chris will start their evening at HBC taking bride/groom/best dog photos and immediate family photos. We ask guests to arrive at 6pm. Shortly after 6pm, Katie and Chris will have a first dance followed by some slower music to get settled in. Then rest of the night, let's have some fun! The bar will be open from 6pm-10pm. Food will continuously be added. Desserts? Eat them first if you would like! Take some photos, play a game of corn hole, eat plenty of food, dance on the dance floor and most importantly know that we are so happy you came to celebrate with us!

Question

What's a cocktail party reception? Will there be enough food?

Answer

We went the cocktail party style instead of sit down because we want you to enjoy the entire night; mingle, dance, eat and please DRINK (responsibly). We will have plenty of appetizers, sandwiches, finger foods and pizza (our favorite). There will be plenty of seating as well, just no seating charts. Also if you know anything about Katie... DESSERTS! There will be plenty of those!

Question

Open Bar?

Answer

OF COURSE - Karl is a lush! Open bar and plenty of Hamburg Beer and Cider on tap.

Question

Are children allowed?

Answer

We respectfully ask that this is an adult-only party. We want you to enjoy your night. Please call a sitter and we expect to see you enjoying the night with a drink in hand! Water on the rocks is delicious too!

Question

Can I bring my dog?

Answer

We love all fur-babies, but we kindly ask you to leave them at home.

Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

We want you to be casually comfortable! Katie will be in a dress, we are hopeful Chris will be in a suit, and Karl will be his most handsome self.

Question

Indoor? Outdoor?

Answer

We have rented the entire outside tent at Hamburg Brewery. The party will happen rain or shine. The tent is also heated. We will have some yard games available as well. Please keep your fingers crossed for a beautiful, Buffalo Fall evening!

For all the days along the way
